<div align='center'><h2><font color='green'>SSAPA Introduction</font></h2></div> 
 
Shanghai Small Animal Protection Association (SSAPA), a branch o Shanghai Veterinary Medical Association, is the only animal
welfare related NGO in Shanghai approved by the city government (registered in year 2003 under license number 37). Petunion 
is the public forum (in Chinese) that SSAPA manages to allow animal lovers to exchange rescue and animal welfare information.
SSAPA strives to build the communication bridge between the masses of animal-lovers and the related government departments.
We seek to improve the general public’s awareness of animal protection and welfare, to learn about animals, learn to respect 
them, be kind to them, improve the living conditions of companion animals, and to work with the local government to promote 
the concepts of responsible pet ownership, which includes abiding to the law for both animal lovers and non-lovers, to promote
a more tolerant and harmonized society.
The day-to-day work of SSAPA currently includes improving and publicizing the related policies and regulations, maintaining a
adoption center to assist rescuers in finding stray and abandoned animals good homes, to promote a balanced nutrition (selection
of dog food, cat food) for companion animals, to improving the pet owner's awareness of their social responsibility, to improve
the health care for pets, which are all inclusive in the topic of responsible pet ownership.
SSAPA is also particularly interested in promotional activities in communities and school districts.  We hope that Shanghai will
catch up with the world on how companion animals are treated.
Since founded in 2003, SSAPA has helped to re-home and foster many strayed or abandoned animals through its own adoption shops.
Meanwhile, countless animals saved by many selfless rescuers found new homes through our petunion forum.   This helps to reduce
the burden on the government in areas of public health, public safety and public order.  We also help to resolve pet related
conflicts between neighbors, within communities and try to mediate the communication between animal lovers and the animal control
bureau.  Our goal is to help build a harmonious society in which we as human beings can coexist with our companion animal friends
in a metropolitan city such as Shanghai.
The road that SSAPA has walked through within the last few years is not an easy one, but it will not deter us from our goals and
 mission.  Since the beginning of 2009, SSAPA has adopted a new organizational structure to help bring in new ideas.  We set up
a board of directors and invite people with the skills and experience in event planning, volunteer coordination and fund raising
to join us as directors in managing the association.  We will like to operate on a open policy that gets everyone involved, and
hope that individuals and organizations can find ways that fit their beliefs to join hands and participate in ways to promote
animal welfare.  We sincerely hope that our new and old members can be more tolerant and compassionate towards people with
different beliefs as well.  Only if we can work together and care as human beings, we can be in a position to help build a better
tomorrow for our animal friends.

<font color='blue'><u><b>SSAPA's Mission Statement</b></u></font>
 
SSAPA’s work is primarily focused on animals found in the buzzing city of Shanghai,  mainly pets, and other animals sharing the
environment and communities with us. These animals are usually visible in the community, in the form of companion animals or
stray animals.
 
We wish to create a harmonious and friendly environment for animals in our community. This is the embodiment of our social tolerance
and a sign of civilization. SSAPA is committed to advocating the friendly and caring treatment of animals.
 
Companion animals are becoming increasingly common in Shanghai, so we cannot stress enough the importance of responsible pet
ownership: to adopt and try not to buy pets, think first before you bring home a pet, act rational and not by impulse. Caring for another life
is not a small decision.  While we advocate kindness to animals, we also hope to guide many rescuers and pet owners to stay rational
and responsible.   They need to be responsible for the animals they keep, and, we hope, they can act as a responsible citizens and care
for other non pet lovers as well, such as walking dogs on leash, pick up the poops etc.
 
Stray animals and abandoned animals (which many arise from uncontrolled reproduction) have become one of the most controversial
community issues in Shanghai. Community animals do not live in natural ‘ or ’ wild ‘ environments as they wish.  Their urban
existence has too many human interventions.  Some good thing may turn bad, such as the abundance of food may prolong their average
life span and make them more capable to reproduce. Some owners discard the newborns or give them away easily; many even end up
directly in the trash can.  Those that survive become strays.  

We strongly advocate a workable spay/neuter program for cats and dogs, whether they are home pets or stray animals.  We will actively
promote a scientific trap/neuter/release (TNR) program in the community to help control the animal population and to bring more
awareness to our effort and progress.
 
We hope that our work can be combined with the actual situation and social development in Shanghai.  We strive to develop effective
ways to handle the huge tasks ahead of us. .While we will like to maintain our independence as an association, we also look for
opportunities to cooperate with experienced organizations both locally and abroad to implement positive exchanges and learning, and
to give new groups our support and guidance. Through our work in the Shanghai area, we hope to see an animal protection law coming
our way soon and will then continue to help perfect it.

",

	'BRANCH_FAQ' => "1. With so many people in need everywhere, why do you only care for animals? 
A: We believe that most people are compassionate. But may have their caring hearts on different matters. SSAPA encourages 
everyone to help anyone in need.  By the same token, you can choose to care for animals.  The two actually do not have any 
conflict.
 
2. Why do you keep talking about saving dogs and cats, but not cattle and sheep or chickens and ducks?A: All animals 
should be given humane care and love.  SSAPA’s work emphasizes on dogs and cats which are considered city animals or 
companion animals.  However, we also advocate treating all other animals humanely. You can take many positive steps to 
reduce the suffering of other animals. We encourage people to reduce meat intake, to protect our mother Earth's 
resources so that the number of lives lost can be reduced; not to buy fur or animal by products; do not abuse animals, 
do not support the use of animals for entertainment, etc.
 
3. How do you find time to help animals? 
A: You can help animals in many ways, such as donating time or money or by offering your expertise to organize and plan 
events.
We do not encourage everyone to go out and rescue animals off the street.  Rescue work is a commitment to another life 
which may not suit everyone and is not the only form of assistance.  You can help to spread the word of animal welfare, by 
participating in voluntary work or by giving financial support to those in need  In short, animal welfare can be achieved in 
many ways.  According to your own comfort level, you can choose the most suitable way to participate.
However, there is one thing that that you can do wherever you are, that is to educate the people around you, explaining 
to them the importance of animal protection and animal welfare.  In the long run, only when we can influence more people 
around us can we improve the welfare situation for more animals.
 
4. Does SSAPA keep all the rescued animals in the office? 
A: SSAPA has very limited resources. Currently we can only keep about 30 dogs in our shelter and 10 cats in the office for 
adoption.  The majority of rescued animals seeking  adoption are posted by the rescuers in our forum. Therefore, please pay 
attention to the Petunion Forum as well.
 
5. Can we send the animals we rescue directly to SSAPA? 
A: First of all, we discourage the act of ‘saving’ as many animals as you can without considering your ability to care for 
them.  If you come across an animal that is caged or that you may not agree with the way it is raised, we recommend that you 
try to guide the owner the proper way of animal care.  We suggest that you consider rescuing the stray animals which are 
adoptable or are urgently in need of help. From the moment that you extend your hand to an animal in need, you must understand 
that you are taking up a responsibility.
SSAPA has very limited resources for the foster care. We will not receive any animals that you casually save and dump on us.
 
6.  Can the animals rescued by SSAPA be adopted?
A: Of course, our aim is to find good homes for stray animals. We believe that dogs and cats deserve their own home and family 
love, instead of spending the rest of their life in a shelter or in a cage somewhere.
 
7. Do I have to pay to adopt an animal from SSAPA? 
A: SSAPA will try its best to deworm, immunize and spay/neuter an animal before it is available for adoption.  We want to make
sure that the adopter is provided a healthy animal.  When an animal is adopted, SSAPA will collect a 200 yuan adoption fee 
to cover the cost.  This will help to balance the expenditure of SSAPA and allow the SSAPA Fund to persist.  At the same time, 
SSAPA hopes that through collecting a fee, the animals can find more responsible owners.  For dogs, SSAPA also advises all 
adopters to adhere to Shanghai law and get a dog license.
All adoption fees received will be put into SSAPA Fund to assist more rescued animals again.
 
8. .What is SSAPA Fund about?
Although SSAPA is a registered NGO, it does not get any funding from the Government, Currently the SSAPA fund comes from 
donations, adoption fees, membership fees and charity sale events. It is used mainly to run the shelter, spay/neuter program
and other educational programs.  Many other expenses such as office rent and salary come from the founder himself and not 
from the fund.  Currently the board overseas the usage of the fund, and will disclose all amount received and spent in the Forum. 
The monthly income and expenditure summary report can also be found on the home page.
 
9. SSAPA also runs some profit-making events such as the yearly pet carnival.  Is this a violation to the idea of an NGO?
To operate normally SSAPA would have to pay its staff and lease an office plus other fixed overhead expenses.. The current 
donation environment in China is not very favorable for NGOs.  The pet carnival brings in some income to cover part of the 
annual basic expenses.  We hope that our NGO can be self sufficient in some ways.  The profit from the events will be put 
into the fund and used again to operate the organization.  
 
10.What is the SSAPA Fund used for?
SSAPA’s main goal is to promote animal welfare and to educate the public and our next generation.  Currently the limited 
fund is mainly used in promoting animal welfare, maintaining the shelter and running the spay/neuter program, training 
volunteers and for also for managing emergency crisis.  In general we will not approve any request for using the fund to 
rescue a particular animal (exceptions may apply)
 
11. Can anyone apply for the fund? 
We use the fund to primarily help paid members and long-term rescuers with fixing their rescued animals, putting the animals 
temporarily in the shelter at a very low cost and help them to find good homes.  We usually do not help them directly to pay 
for the medical bills of ithe animals.
 
12. Does SSAPA know the dog catchers/animal control bureau well? 
SSAPA will try its very best to communicate with the animal control bureau to treat the stray or abandoned animals humanely 
and euthanize the animals if there is no other choice. SSAPA has been actively talking with the related agencies to reduce 
the dog license fees. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of responsible pet ownership by having a proper license, 
which is like an insurance to prevent the dogs from being taken by the animal control officials.
 
13. Can rescuers turn to SSAPA for assistance when they encounter difficulties during the rescue process? 
Yes, we try to give as much assistance as possible by phone or by email. But because of our limited resources, it is not likely 
that our employees can participate in many rescue efforts.  We rely very much on our volunteers for help, and hope to establish
a volunteer team in all districts.  Currently most rescuers find help from other members through our Forum.
 
14. What then does SSAPA staff do everyday?
SSAPA president and board members are actually all volunteers too and each has their own full time work.  But we do have 
full-time employees that deal with membership registration, bookkeeping, event planning, maintaining our web site, adoption
events etc.
 
15. Why did SSAPA close its adoption shops before?  Will they be opened again?
SSAPA operated 2 adoption shops and 2 shelters in the previous 6 years, which helped many stray animals to find good homes. 
To our regret, these operations were closed due to financial and management problems. Currently SSAPA focuses its adoption 
events at SSAPA’s adoption base, which was opened in Jan 2009.  We hope that it not only serves as a shelter for some 
fortunate animals, but also as an educational base for kids to learn the importance of caring for an animal.  We are also
keeping the options open for opening more adoption points in the city.
 
16. Why does SSAPA advocate spaying or neutering an animal? Isn’t that very cruel?
Sterilization is the best way to control the population of stray animals. Uncontrolled reproduction only increases the suffering of 
more animals.  Cats that are fixed no longer want to go out often, which greatly reduce their chance of being caught and sent to 
restaurants as food.  The Trap/Neuter/Release (TNR) program will also reduce the disturbance of caterwaul to neighbors when cats 
are in heat.
 
17. Why does SSAPA approve of euthanasia? 
Putting an animal with major illness to sleep is actually a humane way to reduce painful suffering. Because of a shortage of funds 
and space to guarantee the quality of life of all abandoned animals, euthanasia sometimes is unavoidable.
 
18. Does SSAPA have its own shelter now? 
SSAPA hopes to convert its current adoption base to an adoption publicity center rather than a shelter accepting a large number of 
stray animals. We can accommodate only a limited number of animals at one time. 
 
19. How can SSAPA communicate with the government to bring about the legislature change and the improvement of dog control 
regulations? 
SSAPA participates in many animal welfare related discussions with different law making agencies, bringing many new 
suggestions with the goal of having an effective role in facilitating the legislation change.  SSAPA.also works with many different 
media outlets to educate and change pubic opinion.  SSAPA firmly believes that we have to do our work right so that we can have 
more influence.  However, passing a new law or new regulation takes time and is our long term commitment to improve the 
situation. We ask for the cooperation, understanding, assistance and persistence of everyone hoping for a change.

20. Can SSAPA urge the Government to regulate puppy and kitten mills and try to stop pet breeding from the source? 
In fact this is also one of SSAPA wishes, but breeding industry is mainly regulated by the pet industry association and we will 
ask them to set stricter rules.  SSAPA is not in favor of issuing licenses for more breeding farms and is against the booming 
home breeding business.  The Petunion Forum strictly disallows postings of pet trade of any kind. 
 
21. Can SSAPA recommend a good veterinarian? If there is any medical dispute can we ask SSAPA to mediate? 
SSAPA has partnered hospitals that we work with for the spay and neuter programs.  These hospitals may also give our members 
and rescuers some discounts.  However, we do not make any recommendation.  In addition, we are not responsible for any 
disputes arising between the pet owners and the hospitals or clinics.  We can help to direct any inquiries to the Small Animal 
Veterinary Association or other associations if needed.

	'BRANCH_FUND' => 'SSAPA Fund was formally established in October 2008.
 
The fund will be managed by the Board of Directors to fund approved animal protection projects. We will maintain transparency 
of the fund for donors and the general public to help supervise.

First of all, we will like to explain the nature of SSAPA fund. It is like funds set up by any business or organization during the 
Sichuan earthquake to collect donations. The management team will supervise its usage and will report regularly.

SSAPA Fund is now managed and monitored by SSAPA’s board of directors.

After having their first pet, many people begin to realize that animals have emotions just like us. Because of one’s own pet, 
many people start to care for other animals around us, especially the stray animals on the street. Have you ever thought about 
what you can do for animals after receiving so much joy from them?
 
Join us and become a volunteer, you can choose to participate in one or many ways.
Any effort you put in will change and benefit their lives, and probably yours as well. 
 
Please pay attention to our activities that may require special help, 'Or you can login on our home page and click Edit Profile, 
and choose ways in which you will like to participate.  This will help us to better coordinate our volunteers.
 
<b>Transportation</b>: we encourage our volunteers to share rides when needed. If you have a car, SSAPA in some unexpected 
situation may contact you when we or our rescuers need help in your area.
<b>Rescue work</b>: We need experienced rescuers with catching dogs and cats.  You can also walk a dog or give them a bath at 
the shelter. We also need well versed volunteers to advise some pet owners on how to treat their animals responsibly.
<b>Foster care</b>: This is an area that we need quite a lot of help from our foreign friends who are willing to provide a stray animal 
with a temporary home.  Our shelter has very limited space. Maybe you are here temporarily and are unsure how long you will 
stay. Perhaps you could consider becoming a foster parent to a rescued animal before we find them a permanent home.
<b>Event planning</b>: we need experienced planners, who can work under pressure and can help organize promotional events, find 
corporate sponsors etc.
<b>Website</b>：We need help with translation, proofreading and graphic design etc. with our website. We welcome interesting stories 
that you can share with us to enhance our content as well.
<b>Photography</b>: A picture tells a thousand words. Photo enthusiasts can help capture touching moments of the homeless animals 
to help with their adoption.  
<b>Sponsorship</b>：Provide monetary assistance and pet supplies to help our rescuers lessen their burden.
<b>Medical and beautician aid</b>：Our dogs at the shelter are waiting for someone to play and bath them, to trim their fur etc, and 
to stay healthy to await for their new parents. 
<b>Others</b>
 
Of course, you don't necessarily have to be a SSAPA volunteer to help animals. At any time when you see cruelty acts to animals, 
please intervene, stop the act and advise the person of proper animal care.  Tell your friends and family members to consider 
adoption. It is the responsibility of all of us to lead by example: to keep a pet responsibly and be considerate towards those who 
are not fond of animals. If you can educate your kids to care for all animals who share this world with us, you are helping to create 
a better future for animals and ourselves.

the dogs.  The dogs were moved to SSAPA adoption and publicity base in Jan 2009. The base has been opened since May 
to visitors every weekend.
We establish the base not just as a ‘shelter’.  We do not want to use the word ‘shelter’ very much as the number 
of animals that we can accommodate is very limited. In order to protect the existing animals, we will limit the number
of animals that we can accept.  More importantly, we hope to use the base as an education center to promote the 
concept of responsible pet ownership and adoption.  The base is not a suitable home for animals; we believe that 
finding them a new parent will then give them a new life to enjoy love in a real home.
Adoption is a word familiar to many rescuers but not the general public.  Many Chinese have no idea what adoption 
means since there are so many pet shops around.   When they want to have a pet, they may just purchase it from a 
pet shop or on the street, often out of impulse. These pet transactions not only take the opportunity away from 
the homeless animals, they also encourage a large number of small animals reproduced out of control for the purpose
of trading.  Many people are not aware of this, and that is exactly why we want to step up our education effort.We
encourage more individuals and families to come to the base first when they consider having a pet.  We will let them
know about owning a pet responsibly; consider adoption as an alternative to help more animals to find a good family.
By doing so we can help to reduce pet being overly reproduced, pet trade and also the number of abandoned animals.
The facilities and the regulations need to be improved gradually.  Due to the current conditions, we can open the 
limited resources to mainly SSAPA members and long term rescuers.  We will let their rescued animals stay temporarily
with us and we will assist them to find a new home.

<a name='con3'></a>
<h3><u><font color='blue'>Move in rules</font></u></h3>
SSAPA adoption base is now open for visits to allow potential adopters to interact with the dogs.  This is a 
much better way than adopting by checking only on the photos online. As the only Shanghai approved animal welfare
group by the Shanghai government, we will request adopters to license the dogs properly in accordance with 
Shanghai Dog License laws.

Move in application process:
1.  Rescuer:
Since the present space is limited, SSAPA will give priorities to active members and volunteers.
2.  Rescued dog:
Dogs that are adoptable.
3.  Fees：
SSAPA base is not run for profit.  Hence it will let the approved dogs stay for a period of three months.  Rescuers 
only need to provide 200RMB a month for the living expenses of their rescued animals   The 3 month fees will need 
to be paid in full in advance. 
4.  Application process:
The animal needs to undergo a medical examination by an accredited veterinarian, and approval is needed from SSAPA 
before the rescuer can bring the animal to the base. The rescuer must be able to ensure that the animal is healthy, 
preferably neutered and vaccinated already. This requirement is primarily to protect the other dogs at the base.
5.  Application method:
All the animal information and photos must be posted on the Petunion forum for at least one week before a rescuer 
can file an application for the animal.  The rescuer can download and fill out the application form (<a href='../downloads/pet_registration_example.doc'>click here to 
download</a>) and email the form back to <a href='mailto:ssapa.info@yahoo.com.cn'>ssapa.info@yahoo.com.cn</a>.  .Or the rescuer can contact SSAPA to apply: 61432446, 
61432448.
6.  Adoption
The rescuer shall have an obligation to actively look for potential adopters for the animal.  SSAPA will also help 
to publicize the adoption base to encourage more people to visit. However if the term expires and the animal has 
not been adopted yet, we recommend the rescuer to move the animal to other places that allows long term stay. f 
the rescuer does not pay for the animal care for over 2 weeks and continues to ignore our phone calls , we will 
consider that a surrender and can act accordingly. 
7.  SSAPA reserves the right to modify these terms and make final interpretation without prior notice to the 
applicant.
8.  These rules become effective as of July 1, 2009.

<h3><u><font color='blue'>Purpose of the program：</font></u></h3>
According to conservative estimates, there are at least 100,000 stray or feral cats in Shanghai. If nothing is done 
this number is likely to increase. Many of them, especially kittens, could not survive in the wild, Adult cats that
are lucky enough to survive will continue to live in danger and may fall into the hands of cat catchers who kill 
them for their meat. Many city dwellers complain about the noise of female cats in heat, among other things.
Homeless cats have a bleak future in a huge city like Shanghai.
 
Due to their high reproduction rate, rescue capacity has become the biggest problem for many rescuers.  In view of 
this, SSAPA has introduced a community initiative to promote animal spay/neuter program to solve the problem of urban
homeless cats in a humane way。 This approach has been proven in many countries as the most effective way to control
the number of homeless animals, especially homeless cats.
 
SSAPA will learn from the experience of other countries and will train volunteers to catch cats with safe designed 
cat traps.  A fixed stray cat will be earmarked before releasing to prevent it from being caught and operated 
repeatedly.
 
The situation of homeless dogs is actually more difficult than cats to deal with.  A big city like Shanghai will 
most likely not allow many stray dogs to roam the streets like in Thailand and India.  So our spay/neuter program 
will mainly help dogs that have been rescued to be fixed for a low price to hopefully lead a healthy and good life 
after adoption.
 
<b>Shanghai Small Animal Protection Association</b> has been negotiating with <b>Shanghai Small Animal Veterinary
Association</b>and come to friendly terms for a cooperation.  Members of the Small Animal Veterinary Association 
include licensed pet clinics and hospitals in Shanghai.  Those joining the program will offer free and low cost 
spay/neuter surgery as community service.  SSAPA will in return give them a public service medal to be displayed 
at the partnered clinicsor hospitals. SSAPA requires the pet clinics and hospitals to provide the following 
spay/neuter standards.  Rescuers need to take note of the following points：
 
1. Stray animals need to be vaccinated and wait two weeks before the spay/neutered surgery. Male or female cats should
not be fed for 12 hours before the surgery.
2. <b>Requirement</b>: pet clinics and hospitals will use imported anesthesia and dissolvable sutures.  The surgery 
does not include the following items: E-collar to prevent licking, anti-inflammatory drugs, cost of animal admitted 
for observation or other check-up fees
3. <b>Surgery</b>, have to remove the uterus and ovaries together. This is an international practice on female dogs 
and cats which is considered the most effective spay/neuter method; 
4. <b>Operation</b>: Monday-Friday shall make reservation by phone two days in advance.
5. After appointment, the rescuer should not be late or cancel without giving any reason in advance.
6. After the surgery, tom cat swill get their right ear clipped and female cat their left ear marked. This is a procedure
to prevent repeated surgery.
7. Stray animals is different from domesticated animals, Rescuers cannot provide the health history of the animal.
Therefore, the hospital cannot guarantee that the surgery will not produce any side effects and will not be liable for 
any economic and legal claims.


<a name='con2'></a>
<h3><u><font color='blue'>Surgery quota：</font></u></h3>
Our spay/neuter program is reserved mainly for the following situations:

<h3><u>Cat-Free of charge：</u></h3>
１） <b>Community TNR program:</b> SSAPA will work with relatively safe communities and parks to implement a systematic way
 of counting, catching, surgery, returning, and tracking.  The ultimate goal of the Trap/neuter/return (TNR) program is to
ensure the welfare of the animals by the community in addition to control stray population effectively.
２） <b>Households with economic hardship:</b> If a household has a lot of cats yet cannot afford to pay for their spay/neuter
surgery, SSAPA can help them to arrange for group surgery. But those that accept help from us would have to accept our rules
and agree not to continue to bring new cats home.  Hoarding is actually considered an irresponsible behavior. The purpose of
helping these households is also to educate them about proper care and also self-restraint if they already have financial
difficulties.  We will only help these families once and will not continue to help them on a regular basis.
３） <b>Emergencies:</b> if any mass rescue operations can make a good plan to settle part of the cats rescued, by finding a
temporarily place to keep and monitor the cats after the surgery and then find a safe place, you can bring the plan to SSAPA,
which will then set a number of free quota aside to arrange for spay/neuter surgery.
４） <b>SSAPA paid member</b>can take a stray cat yearly in for spay/neuter a free of charge.

Those that receive free vouchers should have a way to track the well being of the cats released.  We will like more volunteers
to work with rescuers to report regularly to SSAPA in a scientific manner. .The purpose of reporting is to help us monitor the
effectiveness of the TNR effort.  With good statistics we can see if the communities or parks are actively cooperating with us
to protect the animals in community settings.
 
In order to facilitate the identification of fixed cats, international practice is to flat cut a corner of the ear to prevent
duplicate surgery. Some households may have too many cats in the house so it may be difficult for the owners to identify them
all, hence we will recommend the ear marking procedure as well. 



<h3><u>Cat – low cost:</u></h3>
1) SSAPA paid members: besides getting one free voucher a year, they can also apply for a low cost voucher per month to help
cats at 50 RMB per procedure regardless of the sex.  These cats must be ear marked as well.  Monthly quota is limited.

If the member again exceeds the monthly quota or will not accept the ear mark procedure, he or she can consider the following
fees (This is not limited to members) ：

<h3><u>Cat - group price:</u></h3>
1) We can arrange for adoptable stray cats to enjoy SSAPA group price.  Some low income families or disabled people with
domesticated cats at home can use the group price of 50 RMB for male cats and 100 for female cats   They can choose not to
ear mark the cat.100. The low income eligibility needs to be verified by volunteers. Those that participate in the group
discount will need to wait till 10 or more cats have signed up for the surgery at one clinic.

<h3><u>Dog-members’ price：</u></h3>
SSAPA paid member: members can bring one stray dog regardless of size each year in for Spay/neuter surgery: Male100RMB or
female 150RMB.

<h3><u>All pets-members’ discount:</u></h3>
Hospitals will give SSAPA members that show their membership cards at the partnered hospitals will enjoy discounts given by
the hospitals to VIPs
• Domesticated animals can enjoy certain discounts for medical expenses.
• Stray animals can enjoy more discounts for their medical expenses,


<a name='con3'></a>
<h3><u><font color='blue'>Application method:</font></u></h3>
To summarize the rules above in a nut shell:
The applicant must be:
1) SSAPA paid member: we hope that more members will join us for charity purpose and not necessary because of the
vouchers. We will use the membership fee to run TNR programs and other programs that will help more animals essentially,
so please do not ask SSAPA to give you extra spay/neuter vouchers. SSAPA needs to help our partnered hospitals to screen
the applicants carefully.   Members can only obtain a free spay/neuter voucher for cats, as well as a low cost voucher per
month.  We have set quotas and will give out vouchers on a first come first served basis.  Free spay/neuter vouchers will
be issued with the membership cards, Members can decide on their own if they want to use these vouchers for their own
personal use or to help other rescuers.  Loss vouchers will not be replaced.  For low cost vouchers, please contact our
office at 61432446, or purchase directly from the SSAPA Taobao shop.

<a href='http://shop59354450.taobao.com/' target='_BLANK'>Group discount rate in Taobao shop</a>

2) Volunteers: SSAPA will provide assistance to volunteers to run an effective TNR program.  If the volunteer can come up
with specific plans to help those households in hardship or specify how he or she can help monitor and follow up the well
being of the animals, SSAPA will consider giving them free vouchers too for specific projects.  We will ask volunteers to
disclose on the Internet or in writing how those animals are doing.  SSAPA wishes to use these valuable resources to help
animals that we can see a positive result,

After receiving the vouchers, rescuers need to for an appointment with the doctor before bring the animal into the hospital.
Vouchers will have expired date and missed appointments may affect your next application.

SSAPA reserves the rights to evaluate and modify the regulations without prior notice.

<h3><u><font color='blue'>什么样的动物需要救助？</font></u></h3>
    只要你多加留神，就会发现上海的公园、小区、街道等地方常都可以见到流浪动物，虽然目前没有科学的统计上海流浪猫狗的数
量，但肯定最少有数十万只。说实话，我们谁都不是圣人，无法救助所有的流浪动物，只有建议救助人士量力而行，帮助那些和你有
缘的流浪动物，而且可能必须考虑现实情况，尽可能救助那些年纪较小或怀孕、性格温顺亲人、需要家的动物。救助情况包括：

1、动物极其粘人，一旦人离开其情绪就非常低落、悲伤

2、动物非常饥饿、皮毛较脏，明显不能适应流浪生活

3、动物受伤

    您一旦介入到一个动物的生活，就必须清楚您从此承担了一份重要责任！猫、狗的平均寿命都在10年以上，在您将这些‘可爱’
的动物带回家时，请确定您能够照顾它十几年的生活或有决心为它找到一个永久的家。请记得，我们今天在人类社区所看到的数量众
多的流浪动物，他们中的大部分都是从被弃养的家养动物而来！养主轻易的饲养和弃养决定，给这些动物及它们的后代带来了无尽悲
哀。

•    动物极其粘人，一旦人离开，动物情绪低落、悲伤

这些动物几乎就是被弃养不久的家养动物，它们对人有非常强的依恋情绪，并且不能适应流浪生活，这对于它们是极其痛苦的。对这
些动物最好的方式是给它们寻找领养家庭。

•    动物非常饥饿，皮毛肮脏

这些动物或者是直接被弃养的动物，或者是流浪生活的弱势群体。您若方便话，可以给它投喂一些食物。但如果您决定长期给它投喂
食物，请注意几点：
•    如果是雌性猫的话，建议您先给它绝育。
•    在您给猫长期投喂食物过程中，请不要与它培养感情，不要让它情感上对人产生依恋。您可以每天定时定点，放下适量食物马上离
   开。
•    请注意保持投食点的清洁卫生，不要让周围人产生异议。摆放食物时，也尽量避开人多的地方，尽量不要引起注意。
•    狗的话其实问题比猫大很多，流浪狗几乎都难逃被打狗队抓走的命运，因此如果你在不伤害到自己的情况下可考虑给予帮助或发帖
   寻求帮助。

最理想的方式仍然是给它寻找领养家庭。这需要您不懈的坚持。

附：如何给动物找领养？详细指导请见领养篇

•    动物受伤

带动物到有资质的动物/宠物医院，请医生诊断。

注意事项：
•    一定要带动物到有资质的动物/宠物医院，请专业医师诊断。动物不会说话，动物诊所/医院的规范性也远没有给人看病的医院的规范
、监管来得严格完善。一旦碰上装模作样的‘黑心’医院，动物将受极大痛苦、非常容易被误诊甚至丧命，而您付出的精力、财力也都
白白打水漂，不仅不能让动物康复，反而加重它的痛楚，这绝不会是您想要看到的情况。请查看兽医搜寻页找到在您附近的正规宠物医
院。
•    对受伤动物的救助，会产生一定的医疗费用支出。（在一些情况下，一些有经验的救助人自己能够对简单的状况进行判断和治疗。）
    o    根据动物不同的伤情，医疗费用可能从几百块到几千块不等；另外，不同收费标准的动物诊所，相同项目的收费也会有所差异。
    o    如果花费不多、或您的经济状况能够承担，那您就需要尽您所能承担全部费用。
    o    如果花费较多、而您的经济状况不能承担，您可以在相关的宠物论坛上发帖求助，把您的情况和救助动物的情况介绍清楚，并及
       时更新最新进展、捐助情况和支出情况，所有医疗项目支出要记得保留票据，并及时上传以便捐助人和关注者们了解情况。
    o    另外，一些论坛、站点也设有自己的救助基金，您也可以尝试申请一部分医疗费用。但这些基金能够给予的额度有限，大部分费
       用仍需要靠您自己筹措。上海小动物保护分会目前能提供救助人低价或免费的绝育名额，以及廉价的寄养服务。但不参与个人救
       助动物的任何医疗费，但会提供宠物联盟平台让资深救助人通过发帖方式求助。
•    在某些情况下，面对一些严重的伤情或传染病，医生可能建议安乐（请确定医生极其所在诊所是有资质的正规动物诊所）。其实减少
痛苦也是一种人道的做法，可以征询多一家诊所的诊断才做决定。


<h3><u><font color='blue'>对未受伤动物的救助</font></u></h3>

如果您救助的动物未受伤，看上去是健康的，您希望将它领回家、或给它找领养，请注意以下几点：

•    动物的状况看上去很健康。但在外流浪的动物很多都有体内外寄生虫，如果您直接将它领回家（您家中要是还有其它动物，请务必注
意先行隔离，待观察一两个星期，新来的动物没有异样，才可解除隔离），请尽快给它进行体内外驱虫。（基础的体内驱虫片和体外驱
虫剂在网上都可以买到。）如果您没有这方面经验，可以将救助动物带到动物诊所进行体内外驱虫和健康检查。如果您之前没有饲养动
物的经验，建议您第一次给动物洗澡时可以带去专业的宠物店进行洗澡。•    如果您无法自己收留动物、需要给它找领养，在它找到
领养之前，您就需要给它寄养。许多宠物店设有寄养项目，另外，一些论坛上也有个人提供的寄养服务。在您将动物送去寄养时，请先
对其进行驱虫、免疫。
另外，无论何时，请记得您对您所救助动物负有的责任。如果动物在一段时期内没有找到领养家庭，请记得坚持更新、顶您的领养帖子，
并关心您所寄养的动物，不要因为一时困难或丧失信心，不再支付寄养费用、或直接把动物丢给个人寄养人。
您的坚持和毅力将最终决定您救助的动物的幸福。


对于救助的受伤动物，在动物伤愈康复之后，如需寻找领养、而您家里又无法收留，您也需要给它寻找寄养处。

<a name='con2'></a>
<h3><u><font color='blue'>找领养人该注意事项：</font></u></h3>
千万不要为了‘急于’将动物领养出去（为了节省寄养费用 或摆脱害怕动物领养不出去的不安感），而忽略审核领养人，让领养人轻易
带走动物。
近些年，一些不法之徒骗取领养的事件时有发生。为了保证动物的幸福和安全，请您在给动物找领养时，务必仔细审核、斟酌申请领养
者/领养家庭的情况、信息及其真实性。

通常说来，有过饲养动物经验、或目前家庭里至少养有一只动物的领养家庭是比较理想的。
熟人或朋友介绍的领养人相对比较可靠（最好熟人或朋友对该领养人也是熟悉的），且便于您今后了解动物状况。但您仍需要认真询问、
了解对方状况，不要因为不好意思而简略了了解步骤。

领养人需要有较为稳定的经济收入，并且最好是自有住房。虽然领养人对动物的爱心是最重要的，但鉴于许多现实问题，能有稳定的收
入和住处，总体上会对动物将来的生活更有保障。

如果是年轻女性（未育）领养人，或领养家庭中有年轻未育女性，建议您了解下对方对于生育和养动物之间的看法。虽然正常地饲养动
物和生育健康下一代之间的影响极其细微（甚至远不及主 被动吸烟对于胎儿的损害）。但仍广泛存在的偏见，使得这仍然是家养动物遭
遗弃的一个因素。

领养人除了自己有领养意愿，还需要征得家人、尤其是同住一起的家人的认可。领养人需要有比较强的责任心、主见和自主能力。一些
弃养动物的情况都是因为养主抵不过家人（包括已经不住在一起的父母）的反对，而作弃养。

<a name='con3'></a>
<h3><u><font color='blue'>找寄养点该注意事项：</font></u></h3>
如果需要将动物送去寄养店或宠物医院寄养，请注意以下几点：
1. 查看店内的设施是否干净及做好隔离，你不希望辛苦救助下来的宠物在寄养处接触了其它可能有病的动物而被传染。了解寄养处的清
理和喂食规定。
2. 工商营业许可证（看清经营范围）等，如果是宠物医院要看工商许可证、兽医资质证明、兽医卫生监督管理所的许可证等。还需要查
看经营场地（ZF部门不会允许在居民小区内或住宅楼内开办）。
3. 付任何费用请所要收据、发票并妥善保管。
4. 签任何协议都要拿副本或复印件并妥善保管。
5.不要轻易提供自己的家庭住址，可以留一个或多个联系电话。
6.一旦发生纠纷，请及时报告政府部门处理。（及时备案）
7. 如果发生动物死亡，请要求店方或院方在主人查看之前保留尸体，不得擅自处理。

如有纠纷请妥善保留动物尸体并及时报政府部门处理。（在纠纷没有弄清前，不要轻易火化、深埋。）

<h3><u><font color='purple'>10 things to consider before having a pet</font></u></h3>
1) Cats and dogs are not toys.  Can you really treat it as part of your family and get a license for your dog?
2) They are not something that you can play for a few months and dump like old socks.  They are your long term companion which
can be for more than 10 years.  Can you treat him nice over many years? 
3) Are you willing to spend time and energy to keep it company?  Are you confident that you can train it?
4) Are you willing to bear all the inconvenience it brings you, even it is pee or poop in places that make you angry?
5) Are you willing to forgive it for all the wrong things that it does, and tolerate it even if it damages your furniture?
6) When it is sick, can you take good care of it so that it recovers soon?
7) Can your family members accept it?  If not can you convince them to try and love it?
8) Can your family members tolerate its shedding and foul smell if any?
9) When it is old and has difficulty moving around, will you still bear with it and accompany it till its death?
10) Are you financially stable to buy food, toy for it and vaccinate it, bring it in for beauty and medical care when needed?

<a name='con2'></a>
<h3><u><font color='purple'>10 things a cat or dog will like to say to its owner</font></u></h3>
1. My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years.  Any separation from you will be painful for me.  Remember that before you take me in.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me--it's crucial to my well being.
4. Don't be angry at me for long and don't lock me up as punishment.  You have your work, your entertainment and your friends.  I
have only you.
5. Talk to me sometimes.  Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when it's speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it.
7. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones of your hand.  But I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, please ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the
right food, or I've been run in the sun too long or my heart is getting old and weak.
9. Take care of me when I get old.  You too will grow old，
10. Go with me on difficult journeys.  Never say i can't bear to watch it or let it happen in my absence.  Everything is easily for
